Mathematical formula for a perfect bacon sandwich

Did you know that there is actually a mathematical formula for creating the perfect bacon sandwich? I’ve never used a formula for any sandwich, so clearly the few I have made must have been less-than-perfect.

The perfect sandwich took researchers at Leeds University over 1,000 hours of experimentation to find, using “different types and cuts of bacon, cooking techniques, types of oil and a range of cooking times at different temperatures.” 50 volunteer tasters were employed in the search. They determined that the bacon should be crisp and crunchy, cooked under an oven grill/broiler for 7 minutes at 475F, and sandwiched between two slices of farmhouse bread, 1cm to 2cm thick.

May I offer this alternative: cook enough bacon for two people. Put mayo on toasted bread. Put all of the bacon on the bread. Press the pieces together to form a sandwich, and eat. Ignore envious eyes.
